Fixes: #31592
Took me a bit to debug why this was happening. Apparently,
autocomplete
is ignored by almost every browser now. The only reason this showed up in safari specifically is, our input wasn't named or typed like "password" so the browsers think "cool, just an input". but safari actually also checks the PLACEHOLDER text, and since our placeholder text included the word "login", it would ignore the autocomplete and add the widget. You can test this out yourself by changing the placeholder text in this input field with something like "hi". Blew my mind.The added name prop and value are what safari prescribes to ignore autofill.
